IANS conspiring to resurrect House of Savoy

As you well know, America occupied Italy after World War Two, and as it is the case that America has always been committed to the destruction of Throne and Altar (America seceded from The English Crown and Judaised Calvinists instituted a new secular order that rejected Jesus as King *) so it was that in 1946 America "encouraged" Italy to hold a plebiscite resulting in a  wafer-thin "victory" for The Republic,  and which "victory" was definitely not, (cough, cough, stuff-the-ballot-box, cough, cough,  cheat, cough, cough, miscount-the-votes cough, cough; light cigar and light-out for a Brothel ) in the least bit questionable at all just because Our Puritan Empire (see Charles A. Coulumbe's,  Puritan's Empire) believes that wealth is a sign of Divine Election and which Satanic Doctrine requires them to "spread democracy" (at the point of a gun) and thanks to that crummy form of government we Americans have been blessed  in terms of Economy, Privacy, Liberty, Sound Money, Moral Laws,  etc etc.

So, IANS is headed for Piedmont for a fortnight to see what he can do to inspire a resurrection of the House of Savoy.

When he is not conspiring, IANS is looking forward to seeing such places; oh, and also drinking some Piedmont Reds. #

But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar. #  OK, everyone knows IANS will be out drinking and conspiring and so there must be a country song that, roughly, addresses that; oh, yeah - here it is

The shocking words of Our Lord and Saviour

I was reading the Gospel of Saint Luke this morning and I was

 reminded of how it was the New Theology members of  Pope Paul VI's

 Consilium 

despised negative theology and excised 

particular passages from Holy Writ if 

they were deemed negative so we 

would hear only the positive part 

of the truth because the full truth is 

too shocking to hear (and it is an 

insuperable barrier to effete ecumenism for 
Jesus calls the Jews His enemies)

and so, just ask your own 

self when it was that you heard this Gospel 

passage read at Mass.

I'll tell you when - never; never is when

 you heard it and for a very good reason.

It has to do with the perfect Justice of Jesus 

and His Perfect Justice is an action striking

 to hear of and it shakes all of us out of

 our self-righteous complacency.

Is this Our Lord and Saviour speaking this way? 

 Yes.  He means business. Always.

Now, go and sin away and think that Jesus 

loves you just as you are and that there 

are, essentially, no consequences to our 

rejecting Him by our sinning.

I must also write that I do not understand how
modern Popes can go and visit Synagogues and
not preach Jesus and the need for conversion.

Oh, I know that if they did that just once that 
would end all of the good times and dialogues
and the material rewards naturalism is capable of bestowing on those who pursue its goals but as it
is the truth that Holy Mother Church is The Ark
of Salvation, outside of which there is no Salvation, it simply makes no sense to me not
to seek the Salvation of Jews.

It seems to me, rather, unconscionably cruel; but I am , thankfully, anonymous man with no authority.

Luke 19:




And entering in, he walked through Jericho. And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.  And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.

 And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy. And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner. But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold. Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. ] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested. He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.  And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come. But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.  And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities. And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities. And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;

 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow. He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow: And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury? And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.  And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.

 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.

But as for those my enemies, who would not 

have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.

 Cornelius a' Lapide :

Verse 27. But as for those my enemies (the Jews, His citizens), who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither (to My tribunal, in the Valley of Josaphat and Jerusalem), and kill them before me.

 In the Greek, slay them in my presence. Our Lord alludes to those victorious kings who sacrifice and slay their conquered rebels. By this destruction Christ signifies the extreme judgment of the Jews and His other enemies, and their condemnation to eternal death in gehenna, and that a living and vital death, where they will be perpetually tormented by death-dealing punishments and flames, and yet will never die. Our Lord alludes to Titus, who slaughtered the conquered Jews. Thereby He understands the literal meaning to be precisely the condemnation of the Jews, and the gehenna which He will impose upon them when He shall come again from heaven for judgment, to judge and condemn the Jews and the reprobate.

Pope Paul VI  - Missale Romanum - Promulgation of the Roman Missal Revised by Decree of the Second Vatican Ecumentical Council - 3 April 1969

Paul, Bishop Servant of the Servants of God For an Everlasting Memorial

The Missale Romanum was promulgated in 1570 by our predecessor Saint Pius V, in execution of the decree of the Council of Trent. It has been recognized by all as one of the many admirable results that the Council achieved for the benefit of the entire Church of Christ. For four centuries it provided Latin-rite priests with norms for the celebration of the eucharistic sacrifice; moreover messengers of the Gospel brought this Missal to almost the entire world. Innumerable holy men and women nurtured their spiritual life on its readings from Scripture and on its prayer texts. In large part these prayer texts owed their arrangement to Saint Gregory the Great.

A deep interest in fostering the liturgy has become widespread and strong among the Christian people and our predecessor Pius XII has viewed this both as a sign of God's caring will regarding today's people and as a saving movement of the Holy Spirit through his Church. Since the beginning of this liturgical renewal, it has also become clear that the formularies of the Roman Missal had to be revised and enriched. (or, eviscerated and impoverished) A beginning was made by Pius XII in the restoration of the Easter Vigil and Holy Week services; he thus took the first step toward adapting the Roman Missal to the contemporary mentality. (Excellent. Why would one bother to elevate contemporary mentality when one can eviscerate that which is Holy?)

The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in the Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, laid down the basis for the general revision of the Roman Missal: "Both texts and rites should be drawn up so that they express more clearly the holy things they signify"; therefore, "the Order of Mass is to be revised in such a way that the intrinsic nature and purpose of its several parts, as also the connection between them, may be more clearly brought out, and devout, active participation by the faithful more easily achieved." (Rationality, not Mystery. Excellent) The Council also decreed that "the treasures of the Bible are to be opened up more lavishly, so that a richer share in God's word may be provided for the faithful"; and finally that "a new rite for concelebration is to be drawn up and incorporated into the Roman Pontifical and Roman Missal."

No one should think, however, that this revision of the Roman Missal has come out of nowhere. (I don't. It came from you, Bugnini, and the new Theologians of Concilium)The progress in liturgical studies during the last four centuries has certainly prepared the way. Just after the Council of Trent, the study "of ancient manuscripts in the Vatican library and elsewhere," as Saint Pius V attests in the Apostolic Constitution Quo primum, helped greatly in the correction of the Roman Missal. Since then, however, other ancient sources have been discovered and published and liturgical formularies of the Eastern Church have been studied. (Um, not so much. Concilium just made-up a buncha crap to replace the beautiful and traditional prayers)Accordingly many have had the desire for these doctrinal and spiritual riches not to be stored away in the dark, but to be put into use for the enlightenment of the mind of Christians and for the nurture of their spirit.

Now, however, our purpose is to set out at least in broad terms, the new plan of the Roman Missal. We therefore point out, first, that a General Instruction, for use as a preface to the book, gives the new regulations for the celebration of eucharistic sacrifice. These regulations cover the rites to be carried out and the functions of each minister or participant as well as the furnishings and the places needed for divine worship. (and every single one of them can be dispensed with for "pastoral" reasons)

It must be acknowledged that the chief innovation in the reform concerns the eucharistic prayer. Although the Roman Rite over the centuries allowed for a multiplicity of different texts in the first part of the prayer (the preface), the second part, called the Canon actionis, took on a fixed form during the period of the fourth and fifth centuries. The Eastern liturgies, on the other hand, allowed a degree of variety into the anaphoras themselves. On this point, first of all, the eucharistic prayer has been enriched with a great number of prefaces-drawn from the early tradition of the Roman Church or recently composed-in order that the different facets of the mystery of salvation will stand out more clearly and that there will be more and richer themes of thanksgiving. (That claim stinks to high Heaven. The Roman Canon was destroyed and replaced with a buncha made-up crap)But besides this, we have decided to add three new canons to the eucharistic prayer. Both for pastoral reasons, however, and for the facilitation of concelebration, we have ordered that the words of the Lord be identical in each form of the canon. Thus in each eucharistic prayer we wish those words to be as follows: over the bread: Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim Corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur; over the chalice: Accipite et bibite ex eo omnes: Hic est enim calix Sanguinis mei novi et aeterni testamenti, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum. Hoc facite in meam commemorationem. The words Mysterium fidei have been removed from the context of Christ's own words and are spoken by the priest as an introduction to the faithful's acclamation. 

In the Order of Mass the rites have been "simplified, due care being taken to preserve their substance.""Elements that, with the passage of time, came to be duplicated or were added with but little advantage" have been eliminated, especially in the rites for the presentation of the bread and wine, the breaking of the bread, and communion. (IOW, we thought it wise to ditch the Offertory and replace it with some prayers from a Jewish Meal because, face it, Mass is really just a meal))

Also, "other elements that have suffered injury through accident of history" are restored "to the tradition of the Fathers," for example, the homily, the general intercessions or prayer of the faithful, and the penitential rite or act of reconciliation with God and the community at the beginning of the Mass, which thus, as is right, regains its proper importance. (Yes. New Age Puritanism; "return" us to those glorious days when we Catholics were hunted like mad dogs and had to offer the Holy Sacrifice underground - that's the ticket; not for us is the intent to preserve the glorious and solemn sacrifice achieved after it became illegal to hunt us and kill us like mad dogs)

According to the decree of the Second Vatican Council, that "a more representative portion of the holy Scriptures be read to the people over the course of a prescribed number of years," (with the exception of those "negative parts" of Holy Writ that treat of Hell and Sin and Punishment; those are so, like, mean)the Sunday readings are arranged in a cycle of three years. In addition, on Sundays and all the major feasts the epistle and gospel are preceded by an Old Testament reading or, at Easter, by readings from Acts. This is meant to provide a fuller exposition of the continuing process of the mystery of salvation, as shown in the words of divine revelation. These broadly selected biblical readings, which set before the faithful on Sundays and holydays the most important part of sacred Scripture, are complemented by other parts of the Bible read on other days. 

All this has been planned to arouse among the faithful a greater hunger for the word of God. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, this hunger will seem, so to speak, to impel the people of the New Covenant toward the perfect unity of the Church. We are fully confident that under this arrangement both priest and faithful will prepare their minds and hearts more devoutly for the Lord's Supper (Supper Timer, Kids) and that, meditating on the Scriptures, they will be nourished more each day by the words of the Lord. In accord with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, all will thus regard sacred Scripture as the abiding source of spiritual life, the foundation for Christian instruction, and the core of all theological study. 

This reform of the Roman Missal, in addition to the three changes already mentioned (the eucharistic prayer, the Order of Mass, and the readings), has also corrected and considerably modified other of its components: the Proper of Seasons, the Proper of Saints, the Common of Saints, ritual Masses, and votive Masses. In all of these changes, particular care has been taken with the prayers. Their number has been increased, so that the new forms might better correspond to new needs, and the text of older prayers has been restored on the basis of the ancient sources. As a result, each weekday of the principal liturgical seasons, Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, now has its own, distinct prayer. 

The text of the Graduale Romanum has not been changed as far as the music is concerned. (But you don't have to follow it anyways; pastoral reasons, baby. Play any crap you want)In the interest of their being more readily understood, however, the responsorial psalm (which Saint Augustine and Saint Leo the Great often mention) as well as the entrance and communion antiphons have been revised for use in Masses that are not sung. 

After what we have presented concerning the new Roman Missal, we wish in conclusion to insist on one point in particular and to make it have its effect. When he promulgated the editio princeps of the Roman Missal, our predecessor Saint Pius V offered it to the people of Christ as the instrument of liturgical unity and the expression of a pure and reverent worship in the Church. Even though, in virtue of the decree of the Second Vatican Council, we have accepted into the new Roman Missal lawful variations and adaptations,our own expectation in no way differs from that of our predecessor. It is that the faithful will receive the new Missal as a help toward witnessing and strengthening their unity with one another; that through the new Missal one and the same prayer in a great diversity of languages will ascend, more fragrant than any incense, to our heavenly Father, through our High Priest, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. (How'd that unity of Babel work out for ya?)
The effective date for what we have prescribed in this Constitution shall be the First Sunday of Advent of this year, 30 November.a We decree that these laws and prescriptions be firm and effective now and in the future, notwithstanding, to the extent necessary, the apostolic constitutions and ordinances issued by our predecessors and other prescriptions, even those deserving particular mention and amendment. 

Given at Rome, at Saint Peter's, on Holy Thursday, 3 April 1969, the sixth year of our pontificate.

Ascension Thursday Sunday and Psalm 73

Douay-Rheims Bible + Challoner Notes Ut quid, Deus. A prayer of the church under grievous persecutions. [1] Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture? [2] Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt. [3] Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. [4] And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs, [5] And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees, [4] Their ensigns: They have fixed their colours for signs and trophies, both on the gates, and on the highest top of the temple: and they knew not, that is, they regarded not the sanctity of the place. This psalm manifestly foretells the time of the Machabees, and the profanation of the temple by Antiochus. [6] They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down. [7] They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth. [8] They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land. [9] Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more. [10] How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever? http://catholicism.about.com/b/2013/05/07/ascension-thursday-sunday.htm Does this have something to do with The New Evangelisation; are our Bishops really possessed of the idea that fewer Holy Days will draw us closer to God? Who'n'hell knows? Long ago I gave-up trying to figure them out. In a little while I will go to The Lil' Licit Liturgy and read Fr. Lasance's, The New Roman Missal, and try my best to maintain Tradition. If I was near a Real Mass, I'd surely be there. C'est la vie - one plays the hand he is dealt

Wilson Pickett. Prophet

Has it really been more'n sixty years years since what's-her-face was born on May 26, 1951?

Why, yes it has; and speaking of 60s,,,,

There is no doubt that because he was not born into white privilege that the great 1960s Prophet, Wilson Pickett, has not gotten his just dues.

IANS is putting a halt to that injustice today by identifying him as the first person in America to prophesy that Sally Ride would be America's First Space Babe;

....All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally Ride...

Even if it is true that the entire Space Program was just a clever hoax filmed in Arizona and New Mexico and to where a young Steven Spielberg travelled back in time from the future so he could learn some of the clever film techniques developed there; and even though Spielberg ("That pimply dork" as they used to call him) used to lug the faux films around in a Volkswagen Van in the desert so that they would not be discovered by Mike Wallace; and even if it is true that Rod Serling thunk-up this whole scam while his lips were fastened to a Bong so America's attention would be diverted away from the carnage at The Augusta National Golf Course where POTUS * Dwight David Eisenhower, routinely, brained patrons with his drives; nevertheless, as those of us with a High School Degree (like Rush Limbaugh) are fully aware - that is no excuse for various things and whatnot.

IANS will not flinch (PH) away from doing Justice.

This story of faux outrage and pretend pain has moved me to audible laughter:

It reminds me of the time that I got drunk and threw-up on my cat, Lulu Sissy-Fag * Pretty-Pet, (She sort of looked like Lulu, only prettier; and she had much cleaner teeth) and the Priest would not let me into the Church on the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi (Assisi being a reference to the girly-boy who wrote that crap for Huffy's site) and so my cat never was blessed and so while we all know that all dogs go to Heaven, what about my poor cat?

Well, Lulu Sissy-Fag Pretty-Pet ran away because she experienced rejection and who knows where she ended-up.

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

You think THAT was a lot to learn? Your parents were quite prescient when they chose to name you, Lulu.

This silly movie just goes to prove how prophetic the 1960s were. 

In the movie, To Sir With Love, Lulu, represents the white European Christian Race that would vote a Mulatto Kenyan Mahometan into power so we would get hope and change and, FINALLY, we'd get a POTUS who would fully dedicate NASA to the goal of making Muslims feel better about themselves; no, really, that was the gangly goofballs' goal for NASA.
